A video of celebrity couple Priscilla Ojo and Juma Jux celebrating their son, Prince Rakeem Ayomide Mkambala, on his 40th day has caught the attention of fans.
The couple welcomed their first child shortly after their wedding, which was held in both Nigeria and Tanzania. Following the ceremony, Priscilla moved to Tanzania, where she now lives with her husband and their new family.
Just a few days ago, the couple shared photos of Rakeem at one month old. Reports also noted that Priscilla’s close friend, Enioluwa, travelled to Tanzania to visit and brought the baby several luxury gifts.

In the video circulating online, Juma Jux is seen holding Rakeem among Muslim clerics in a decorated setting. The clerics prayed for the child in the presence of friends and relatives, reciting verses from the Holy Quran as a form of protection.
Across many African cultures, the 40th day after a baby’s birth is marked as a significant moment for prayers, thanksgiving, and formally presenting the child to family and the community. It often leads to naming ceremonies, whether in Christian, Islamic, or traditional practices.
